Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Langdon is a struggling real estate broker. By nature, he is a cautious man, and adverse to taking risks. While scouting out a tract of land that might be available for development, Paul loses his way in the woods. After wandering helplessly for several days, he is saved by the interventions of a wolf — except there are no wolves in upstate New York. As a lukewarm Christian, Paul discovers that his faith in God has been challenged by his miraculous encounter. He begins to reassess what he truly believes. Two additional miracles, each more compelling than its predecessor, combine to strengthen his spiritual devotion. As uncertainties arise, Paul struggles to come to terms with his newfound faith. Then one day, he and his wife, Rachel, are devastated to learn that their eight-year-old daughter has a rare genetic disorder. Within eighteen months, Alicia’s immune system will begin attacking her heart. She will not survive. Although fully expecting another miracle, Paul resolves to do everything in his power to see his daughter healed. Yet, his efforts are thwarted at every turn. His enemies conspire to block the real estate development that will pay for his daughter’s medical care. Every therapy that might offer a glimmer of hope is denied to Alicia for technical reasons. At length, Paul realizes he is out of options. He has reached the limits of his own abilities. This story explores the nuances of genuine faith, and in light of God’s sovereignty, what trusting Him truly means.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Already an internet phenomenon, these wise and insightful lessons by popular newspaper columnist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Regina Brett will make you see the possibilities in your life in a whole new way. When Regina Brett turned 50, she wrote a column on the 50 lessons life had taught her. She reflected on all she had learned through becoming a single parent, looking for love in all the wrong places, working on her relationship with God, battling cancer and making peace with a difficult childhood. It became one of the most popular columns ever published in the newspaper, and since then the 50 lessons have been emailed to hundreds of thousands of people. Brett now takes the 50 lessons and expounds on them in essays that are deeply personal. From "Don't take yourself too seriously-Nobody else does" to "Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift," these lessons will strike a chord with anyone who has ever gone through tough times--and haven't we all?
Download or read book The Founding Myth written by Andrew L. Seidel and published by Sterling. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was America founded on Judeo-Christian principles? Are the Ten Commandments the basis for American law? In the paperback edition of this critically acclaimed book, a constitutional attorney settles the debate about religion's role in America's founding. In today's contentious political climate, understanding religion's role in American government is more important than ever. Christian nationalists assert that our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and advocate an agenda based on this popular historical claim. But is this belief true? The Founding Myth answers the question once and for all. Andrew L. Seidel builds his case by comparing the Ten Commandments to the Constitution and contrasting biblical doctrine with America's founding philosophy, showing that the Declaration of Independence contradicts the Bible. Thoroughly researched, this persuasively argued and fascinating book proves that America was not built on the Bible and that Christian nationalism is un-American. Includes a new epilogue reflecting on the role Christian nationalism played in fomenting the January 6, 2021, insurrection in DC and the warnings the nation missed.

From a Trickle to a Torrent documents the demographic and social consequences of educational migration from Nubri, a Tibetan enclave in the highlands of Nepal. The authors explore parents’ motivations for sending their children to distant schools and monasteries, social connections that shape migration pathways, young people’s estrangement from village life, and dilemmas that arise when educated individuals are unable or unwilling to return and reside in their native villages. Drawing on numerous decades of research, this study documents a transitional period when the future of a Himalayan society teeters on the brink of irreversible change.
